Early diagnosis and early elimination of heartworms with adulticidal therapy give a dog the best chance of a healthy life. However, heartworm infection has consequences, and damage can be life-long.
That’s why the American Heartworm Society (AHS) recommends year-round heartworm prevention for all pets. For more information on the AHS guidelines, as well as tools to educate your family and friends, check out heartwormsociety.org.
